We are animals - members of the Animal Kingdom as classified by the classical Carolus Linnaeus. We seem to be the type of animal, like so many others, to draw boxes around groups and lines in the sand to show that we're a better, stronger, or more clever species of animal than some other, even to the extent of measuring percentages of blood lineage or counting bumps on the head or sizes of various skulls. It takes a bit of work to reach the level of consciousness and consistency to evolve into a human being. Most of us are not born at that place... or if we are, how quickly most of us forget. Am I saying I'm there? No, that isn't what I'm saying... Just that it's possible and takes a bit of practice after all to stop drawing boxes and lines in the sand... among other things. I do think we need to get on it, however... It's late in the day. Not so we can be better, stronger, or more clever than some other... but so that we can see the equanimity of us all - living things, stones, the rest. My opinion at 5:57pm on a Saturday evening.
